Towing manual trans SVX on tow dolly

The subject says it all.

I'm considering options for moving an SVX with a 5 speed manual transmission between cities.

Normally I'd winch the car onto a car transporter trailer, but I can borrow a tow dolly for free.

A tow dolly is basically a very short trailer, just a set of ramps sitting on top of a single axle with a drawbar on the front. It's intended to drive the car's front wheels onto the dolly and the rear wheels stay on the ground.
Then the dolly is hooked up to the tow vehicle just like a trailer.

Obviously with a 4WD automatic this would probably spell death to the transmission in the car being towed, but what about an SVX with a manual gearbox ?

I think that it would be perfectly ok.

But before I destroy a transmission, I'd be keen on other opinions.

Thanks
